Or bricks lol <br />I am so hopeful this will finally be the attempt that produces a fine loaf of delicious sourdough. Thank you so much for the posts and the videos!

I am on day 5 of my sourdough, since day 3 (after feeding my starter for the first time) my starter has looked more like a sponge big and bubbly after 24 hours, I started to barely see the frothy bubbles on day 4 a few hours after feeding it, so I put it in the fridge and made my sponge today. I think I may have done it too early.<br />It has only been 5.5 hours but it is looking frothy like it should have before the sponge.<br />I plan on waiting a few more hours and trying to make my bread anyway, to see how it turns out. but do you have any idea if and what I may have done wrong? so I can do it right next time.<br />did I make my sponge too early?Kaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-7392986910134677032009-08-20T09:23:52.371-04:002009-08-20T09:23:52.371-04:00not sure, never triednot sure, never triedChef Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-19236488865228614182009-08-19T23:19:01.959-04:002009-08-19T23:19:01.959-04:00Oh yes, you&#39;ve inspired me!

However, since there were not lots of tiny bubbles I kept &quot;feeding&quot; the starter for a couple more days. I never got that same reaction again, but finally got a fair amount of tiny bubbles a couple days later.<br />The next day I finally made the sponge, but got no reaction from it, other than the typical starter activity(tiny bubbles and a the liquid separating from the rest).<br />Any suggestions?

When I make the "slashes" on my loaf, before baking, it deflated a little. Did I possibly make the slashes too deep?

I made it, even tho I didnt get big bubbles in the "sponge" step I moved fwd and made the dough last Thursday, and then baked it on Friday morning. It looked fine and the result was amazing! I got a beautiful loaf of bread in the end, and it tasted very nice. My friends approved! ;-) Anyway, now is the science bit, and already froze half of the loaf for future studies in the lab. I'll let you know the results.
